In this episode, I chat with Dr. Matthew Joseph to discuss X-Factor EDU. He founded this because of his passion of sharing voices and stories. He’s a published author and now pays it forward by allowing others (including myself) to share their story and voice through book publishing. He’s taken it a step further by starting a podcast network. We discuss his story, his ventures, and where he sees himself in five years. This is a great conversation with an even greater friend. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed. Buen provecho!
